Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of the Victron Cyrix-Li-Load 12/24V-120A?
Its primary function is to intelligently manage battery banks by automatically connecting them when charging is detected and disconnecting loads when battery voltage drops to prevent deep discharge.
How does the Cyrix-Li-Load prevent battery discharge?
It continuously monitors battery voltage; when the voltage falls below a user-defined threshold (indicating potential deep discharge), it automatically disconnects sensitive loads from the battery.
What is the voltage drop across the Cyrix-Li-Load?
The Victron Cyrix-Li-Load features virtually no voltage loss, making it exceptionally efficient and superior to diode isolators which typically have a voltage drop of 0.4V or more.
Can the Cyrix-Li-Load be used with both 12V and 24V systems?
Yes, the Victron Cyrix-Li-Load is designed to operate automatically with both 12V and 24V battery systems.
What is the maximum continuous current rating for the Cyrix-Li-Load?
The Cyrix-Li-Load has a maximum continuous current rating of 120A, suitable for managing significant electrical loads on board.
